FILMMAKERS INTRODUCE COURTYARD SCREENING OF MALCOLM
The NFSA is about to present a limited season of one of Australian 1980s cinema's most loved films, with a brand new print from the NFSA's Deluxe/Kodak Project.
Tram-fixated Malcolm (Colin Friels), ex-con Frank (John Hargreaves), and his nothing-but-spunk girlfriend Judith (Lindy Davies) become the most effective bank-robbing gang since the Kellys, in the multi-AFI award winning film. Filmmakers Nadia Tass and David Parker will join us in the NFSA's courtyard for an outdoor screening of Malcolm, this coming Saturday, 9 January. If you didn't get to see it on the big scren when it first came out, now is your chance Canberrans.
